As most of my work is done when mobile, without hardware, I would like to improve the simulation/test environment so that I can do more representative testing when mobile.
In particular:
ways to build active simulations or mocks of each device type, that have a very simple repeatable behaviour, injecting messages into the receive pipeline, and receiving messages from the transmit pipeline - perhaps connected via a radio_mock module, a simple software bus.
the ability to use all these mocks in repeatable regression tests using unittest
perhaps a version of the setup_tool or web_console, that can be run in parallel with a running mocked system, and drive the simulated device end of things, making it easy to tinker with specific scenarios.
The trigger for this was issue #75 which is as a result of not completely testing this specific mode of use (iterating the registry and interacting with the non connected objects) properly.
